CHEWIE's customs updated 06.22.2012

[Dressel Rebel]

I think you all probably know who is under the helmet in the middle.   

A million to one odds say it's Jango Fett.

But I have a feeling it's someone else...

Nice little unit there, no need to apologize for clone customs.  I think they're pretty much the most wanted in the customs world right now.

[CHEWIE]

Thanks Dressel, you're right that clones are still the most popular customs these days.  I wonder how long the craze will last?

Anyways, I was going to work on #16 - Curse of Dathomir tonight, but just didn't get motivated.  So I made a quick custom instead of Boshek.

I always liked that figure, but thought for whatever reason he's look better with gloves, and a dry brush.  So, here is my new Boshek figure.

The clones were the last update for awhile, huh?

I've got mixed feeleing on the clones. I like the color of the Arms and Chests on the Bacarra style clones but I don't like the white shins and the white on the helmet. But for some reason I kond like the reverse on the other guys. I think it fits better on them because the majority of the figure isn't going for a camoflauge look, the white sticks out like a sore thumb on the other guys. I think Rykrof could use a little different coloring to hel tie him in with his troopers better too.

I really like the BoSheck. The weathering and gloves really improeved it.

[Quazar]

You know what?  I loved this clone unit until I saw Ryan's comment about the white shins.

But, to me, that's a minor quibble.  On balance, it's another amazing job with absolute first rate weathering!

[CHEWIE]

So, you think the shins on the Bacara guys should be darker?

Also, as promised, I've started on the next photonovel, and here is the first preview.

Hey, Chewie, that's great!!!

The other day, I was thinking about making a "movie poster" for my photonovel, but I decided to hold off until there's at least a little more "story" going on.

But you should definitely make one of these posters for all your old chapters!  This looks great!!

And I still think you should get yourself a free website to permanently archive all of them, since TCA is unreliable.

How many customs do you make a month chewie?  50 plus?

You update everyday it seems....DANG!

[Smartypants1635]

HOLY Shikers thats is freaking scary almost peed my pants there

[baragon]

Good ideas there Famine.  I'll keep those in mind.

Also.... updated a figure tonight after the Cardinals game (can't sleep that well still) with a new version of the main character in the photonovel series... this will be a future look for him.

Rykrof Enloe



 

I love the new Rykrof but t don't think the extra cable attached to his leg is nessesary.

Lance - great idea on the other movie posters... I was thinking about that.  If anyone else wants me to do that, that will make it two people, and I couldn't turn down such a a popular request.   

Glassman - Hmmm... on a good week, about 4-5 customs, on a bad week, about 1 or 2.  So probably about 3 a week, which averages out to 12-15 a month I'd say.  But mostly mine aren't very complex like yours.  I'm just not that talented or patient enough to create anything like you do.

Smarty - Go change your underwear.   

Baragon - I kind of agree with the leg thing.  I don't really know why I added it.  The good thing is that it's removable.

*raises hand*

[CHEWIE]

Thanks Ryan!

Ok, depending on how this week goes... by the end of the month, I'll either have the posters done, or the next photonovel.

And I figured I might as well show this guy I made a bit ago.  He's a Bunker Commander on Endor.

Getting a little ahead of ourselves, CHEWIE?

[CHEWIE]

Way ahead... almost 30 years away in the Rykrof series before he can really be show.  Any thoughts on his appearance?

 

[CHEWIE]

Also, a while back we went of a craze repainting the Wookiee Sneak Preview fugure... here's a comparison of two untouched ones that I have.  Any ideas on the new one?  He looks like he's got potential!
